Syntax

public static class HexString

Remarks

A codec for a hexadecimal string, Encode(Byte[], String) and Decode(String). Adds the extension method ToHexString(Byte[], String) to encode a byte array and ToHexBuffer(String) to decode a hexadecimal String.

Methods

Decode(String)

Converts the specified String, which encodes binary data as hexadecimal digits, to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer array.

Declaration

public static byte[] Decode(string s)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	The hexadecimal string to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	An array of 8-bit unsigned integers that is equivalent to s.

Encode(Byte[], String)

Converts an array of 8-bit unsigned integers to its equivalent hexadecimal string representation.

Declaration

public static string Encode(byte[] buffer, string format = "G")

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Byte[]	buffer	An array of Byte.
String	format	One of the format specifiers ("G" and "x" for lower-case hex digits, or "X" for the upper-case). The default is "G".

Returns

Type	Description
String	The string representation, in hexadecimal, of the contents of buffer.

ToHexBuffer(String)

Converts the specified String, which encodes binary data as a hexadecimal string, to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer array.

Declaration

public static byte[] ToHexBuffer(this string s)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	The hexadecimal string to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	An array of 8-bit unsigned integers that is equivalent to s.

ToHexString(Byte[], String)

Converts an array of 8-bit unsigned integers to its equivalent hexadecimal string representation.

Declaration

public static string ToHexString(this byte[] buffer, string format = "G")

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Byte[]	buffer	An array of Byte.
String	format	One of the format specifiers ("G" and "x" for lower-case hex digits, or "X" for the upper-case). The default is "G".

Returns

Type	Description
String	The string representation, in hexadecimal, of the contents of buffer.
